Chinese Interpretation of WIN



On the last lecture of my Quality Management class last week, my lecturer screen this image up on the board. From small kids we learned the chinese character "赢" merely from the break-up of 亡口月贝凡--without any meaning and not knowing why the word has to be so complicated. But then somebody comes out with a new interpretation of this 5 individual 亡口月贝凡 and i thought this is somehow cool and meaningful:


亡:牺牲精神/ The spirit of sacrifice

口:口碑相传/ The reputation

月:日月累积/ Time

贝:利用资源/ Use of resource

凡:小事做起/ Start modestly


There're another version of interpretation that explains 亡——代表危机意识,口——代表沟通,月——代表时间,贝——代表资金,凡——代表一颗平常心. Both are quite similar and easy to understand.
